Morrison Hotel, LA Woman, and Soft Parade are on my Christmas list. With my luck I won't get any :(

I never really liked the Doors that much, so I dont want to get to carried away. That's why I'm only looking for Morrison Hotel right now.

Wohoo! Tomorrow is my 18th b-day, and today I got my presents. I got Who's Next and MAgical Mystery Tour. Naked Eye is my new favorite Who song :thumb:

So, I'm watching "Hell Freezes Over" by The Eagles...

They're pretty good considering they haven't played together for 14 years.

We haven't discussed the Eagles in a while have we?

That's one of the better songs off Who's Next.

on the matter of cream's improvisational prowess, one of my friends has a live album from them, and it's absolutely phenomenal. i'd recommend it to everyone.

also, has anyone heard the version of "mountain jam" from the atlanta pop festival, where they played with johnny winter? not as good as the fillmore version, but pretty ****ed cool regardless.

Is it Live Cream I,II, or the second disc of Wheels of Fire?

[quote]We haven't discussed the Eagles in a while have we?[/quote]

I could'nt see them when they came =( I had absolutely no cash and it was probably thier final tour before one of them suffered a heart attack. My freind did however call me from the front row seats and let me listen to Hotel California. *sigh*

DVG.

I was gonna make a thread to discuss the Eagles, great band

classic rock is the bomb :thumb:

My Dad runs a Ford Car dealership in this small town called Wilmington in Illinois of course. And because he runs that Ford dealership, he gets to go to all of the big Ford meetings. The meetings are usually held in Las Vegas. Each of the meetings are 100% top secret of course, so only my mother can come with him (not my brother and I). And each meeting the owner of Ford (Who my Dad knows) gets a couple of big acts to perform for his workers. Last time he got Jerry Seinfield and The Eagles. My parents got front row center seats. They got a bunch of free Eagles crap. They sad it was insane, andsaid I would have liked it :(

To summarize - Badmoon's dad's work, and eagles.

my favourite doors album is Strange Days. it truly captures the end of the happy go lucky pscychadelic era...the vietnam war is raging, the manson murders, the stabbings at the Stones concert is nearing (truly the end of the psychadelic era). People are realizing the world isn't as wonderful as they thought, and the doors capture that moment perfectly. its really a depressing album, but it is very well written and it could almost be considered a concept album, although the concepts are very subtle.

their first album was more just a collection of songs that they were playing in clubs at the time, they didn't relate to eachother in anyway. They were great songs, but they were basically just a bunch of singles put together. Strange Days was written more as an album, and less as a collection of songs.

L.A. Woman also has some great songs if you like the more R&B side of the Doors, it is less pschadelic, but that doesn't make it worse. It still has some of their best songs. Jim Morrison was trying to be more of a singer, and less as a poet most people say, and you can really tell.

i think they should just take away the "classic" in front of classic rock-its the only good stuff out there. when the new bands stop being such pretty boys and corporate sell-outs then we'll have to worry about the style of our music....

My dad's a lawyer, so whenever he goes on business trips it's to sue someone for everything they're worth.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Clapton isn't anywhere close to the world's best guitarist. But if you've heard his unplugged album you'd know that he's one of the best music-writer type guys.

Umm, I need to build my vocabulary :([/QUOTE]

Kinda late, but...

I never said he was the greatest, I'm just saying that what he did wouldn't have been the same if someone else was there instead of him. He's my favourite guitarist, but that doesn't make him the best ever.

YES! I was freakin out because nobody had mentioned Strange Days. I think that's my favorite album. People Are Strange is such a cool song. And I've also noticed how their first album's songs, while all great, don't relate to each other in any way. Strange Days seems to go together, and I love it.

Its kinda like Led Zeppelin I. To me, it seems like a very colorful album, all different types of songs that don't really relate to each other, but are still good. It reminds me of a bunch of colors all thrown together.

Led Zeppelin II, on the other hand, has a very brownish color to it (maybe partly based off the cover). The songs are more gritty and bluesy, not very polished over, and the whole thing seems really muddy to me. Because the songs all have these qualities, they fit together better.

So in ending this rant, we now know that:

a) The Doors : Strange Days :: Led Zeppelin I : Led Zeppelin II

AND

b) I like to associate everything with colors. :thumb:

/rant.

Your dad's goin' to hell :p

Lol.....so, whats your favorite Floyd album? i'd have to say definately Wish You Were Here. Why? It has the best Floyd songs (Have a Cigar, Welcome to the Machine, Wish You Were Here). The album also has a great sound on the other songs, and the cover of it is pretty crazy.

I also like Dark Side of the Moon (for obvious reasons), and Meddles.....San Tropez is simply amazing.

Probably my favorite three (WYWH, DSOTM, Meddle in that order.) I'm convinced that Wish You Were Here is the greatest album ever produced. Just my opinion.

WYWH is great and so is DSOTM, no clear-cut winner there. Also, no one can resist the power of 'The Wall'......anyway, whats your favorite calssic rock solo?

I respect The Wall for its ability to tell the story through every song. Waters probably had trouble keeping it like that.

Favorite solo, probably Since I've Been Lovin You. The whole song is so emotionally powerful, and when solo hits, its just like *CHILLS*.

My favorite has to be the end solo for 'War Pigs' by Black Sabbath, it's about 6:45 into the song.....simply epic.

I always loved the guitar solos in "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". Can't quite explain why.

I never heard them.....guess I'll have to.

Voodoo Child has the most recognizable guitar intro ever. As for their solos, they weren't Hendrix's best but they were definitely great.

What about Smoke On The Water? That's pretty recogniazeable. Voodoo Child is a much better song though.

My favorite Pink Floyd album has to be Wish You Were Here.

I mean, cmon! it's Wish You Were Here. It's awesome! umm

yeah

Animals, if you disagree well then you suck.

[I]Animals[/I] was strong lyrically, but was incredibly underwhelming and uninteresting instrumentally.

I think Morrison Hotel is the best Doors album.:) It is underated. WYWH is also my favourite Floyd album. Why the hell are there so many Door-less people in this thread. :angry:

The Doors kick ***, are you kidding? Favorite album is 'Strange Days', favorite songs are 'Riders on th Storm' and 'People Are Strange'

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice][I]Animals[/I] was strong lyrically, but was incredibly underwhelming and uninteresting instrumentally.[/QUOTE]
Uninteresting intsrumentally, have you even listened to it?

Yeah Sheep is amazing lyrically and instrumaentally.

Me bought:

Doors-LA Woman
John Lennon-Imagine
Bob Dylan-Highway 61 Revisited

Nice, I almost bought clapton unplugged and houses of the holy, but my mom wouldn't give the credit card number.
